The protection of personal information and the patient interests and safety

Data security consists of 3 components: confidentiality, integrity and availability. We have developed a National Standard of Russian Federation “electronic health records” (entered into force in 2008), which discusses in detail all aspects of data security in the application for medical records.
The interest of the patient consists in the fact that the medical examiner has received much information as possible in the most understandable form (availability).
Patient safety depends on the reliability of preserving the integrity of data, ie, that no one component has not been changed.
People love to talk about privacy, but we never see the critically ill patients who would have thought about confidentiality: they always wanted to maximize participation in their own problems, as doctors, and others.
If you explain to people the difference between truth and credibility, and indicate that the slander and smear company only needs the likelihood you will find very few people willing to pay out of pocket for a higher degree of privacy in their medical records.
Nevertheless, the new Russian Federation law “On personal data” considering only the issue of confidentiality and thus detrimental to the other components of data security, posing a threat to medicine.
